I knew this about gif (text) vs jpeg (photos) -- now what does that say about me? -- but I have to admit that png is just what my Mac does when I take a screenshot... Glad to be of service!

I just made a startling discovery that has now been burned into my frontal lobes with the intensity of 4000 of your earth suns. png files make text and thin lines look much much clearer than jpegs. That I even noticed, checked out the properties, looked at the image alone and went off doing a couple of test screen caps to better observe the effects places me squarely into the nerd tray I suspect. Damn. Although, to be fair, the fact that I hadn't noticed this phenomenon until now also places me in the 'closer to retarded than genius' tray. Wow.
